Labour MP Shabana Mahmood has introduced a scheme for a new asylum route based on Canada’s model.
It would allow firms, higher‑education institutions and local organisations to sponsor refugees, granting aid for homes and jobs.
The objective is to hasten settlement and reduce pressure on the existing system.
Mahmood says the route might admit thousands of newcomers, similar to the Ukrainian scheme used last year.
Critics argue the scheme could strain public services.
The government has not announced a schedule.
